Crawfordsville, IN - After another incredible year of GNCC racing, the final round of racing is upon us, and thousands of spectators and racers converge in Crawfordsville, IN for the “Ironman.” The Ironman has long been the last stop on the GNCC tour, and it is also one of the highest attendant events of the year and with the rain out the picture for Friday and Saturday, it should be a great weekend for ATV racing.

Many arrived early Friday to start preparing for Saturday, and there were plenty of vendors and spectators gathering on vendors row.

Many of the Top Pros prepared their 2006 Race Quads for the last race of the year with Forsale signs popping up along Pro Row like dandy lions, and Bryan Cook is letting his race ready Honda go for a bargain at only $8,700

[Admin]

Bryan Baker has his Green Machine up forsale as well for only $8,500

Pat Brown is back for another round of GNCC racing, and this time he finally has his YFZ450 completely setup for cross country racing, and if he doesn't run into problems, I expect to see him in the top 10.

Traci Cecco will be back racing in the Morning Race with the #1 Plate this weekend and she was busy plastering all her fellow Yamaha racer ATVs with her commemorative 5th Championship Stickers.

Johnny Gallagher won't be wearing pink this year, but he will be strapping on a Pink Energizer Bunny to his Honda in hopes it will keep him going and going to the finish line.

Polaris has delivered several brand new Outlaw 525 machines with the high performance KTM engines, and these beast have some major get up and go, and with a 30 pound diet with the new engine, expect to see a few of these near the front of the pack in the morning especially with Cain Smead and John Gallagher behind the handlebars.

John Gallagher Sr with be representing ATVRiders.com on the Outlaw 525, and I had an oppurtunity to ride the all new Outlaw today, and it was a blast to ride through the woods. Not only does it have plenty of power, it appears Polaris has narrowed up the front end for 2007 because I seemed to be able to dice my way through the trees which ease, but I will check on the specs tomorrow to verify my speculation.

Updated - It was narrower because John Gallagher had installed custom front hubs, which did narrow up the front end over 2", so I assumed correctly, but it was not a factory change. Sorry for any confusion.

The extra ground clearance of the Polaris Outlaw at the Ironman will provide a huge advantage because this track normally ruts up fairly quick and has some rock gardens as well along the creek bed.

Yamaha is also in attendance showing off their 2007 models, and they are ready to celebrate Bill Ballance's7th National Championship along with Traci Cecco's 5th Women's Championship.

To kick of the weekend, we headed out the to Indy to do some gokart racing, and Bill Ballance was once again up for the challenge.
